LET'S FOCUS ON ATTAINING PARADISE

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul Jumuat, 24th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1446AH (FRIDAY, 27th September 2024). *_LET'S FOCUS ON ATTAINING PARADISE_*. BismilLah. 


AlhamdulilLah for blessing us to be part of this blessed day of the week. 


ALLAH says,

فَإِذَا جَاءتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَى

But when there comes the Great Catastrophe, this refers to the Day of Judgement.

يَوۡمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ 

The Day when man shall remember what he strove for, meaning, at that time, the Son of Adam will reflect upon all of his deeds, both the good and the evil.

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ 

And Hell shall be made apparent for whoever sees, meaning it will become apparent for the onlookers, so the people will see it with their own eyes. Allahu Akbar. 

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ . وَءاثَرَ الْحَيَوةَالدُّنْيَا

Then, for him, who transgressed, meaning, who rebels and behaves arrogantly. And preferred the life of this world, meaning he gives it precedence over the matters of his religion and his hereafter

فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى.

Verily, his abode will be the Hell;

meaning, his final destination will be Hell, his food will be from the tree of Zaqqum, and his drink will be from Hamim.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَى

But as for him who feared standing before his Lord and forbade himself from desire, meaning, he fears the standing before ALLAH, he fears ALLAH'S judgement of him, he prevents his soul from following its desires, and he compels it to obey its Master.

فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى

Verily Paradise will be his abode, meaning his final abode, his destination, and his place of return will be the spacious Paradise. *May ALLAH grant it to us by HIS MERCY.* Aameen.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

PURIFICATION OF THE HEART

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 20th day of Swafar 1447AH, Thursday, 14th August 2025. *_PURIFICATION OF THE HEART_*. BismilLah.  A sister asked me yesterday how we can purify ourselves to achieve the immense benefits mentioned in our reminder yesterday.  The command to purify our hearts from sins was an essential Islamic teaching ever since the early stages of the revelation in Mecca. This is known as “purification of the soul” (tazkiyyat an-nafs).   ALLAH Azzawajal says: He has succeeded who purifies the soul, and he has failed who corrupts the soul. Surah Ash-Shams 91:9-10. Also, ALLAH Azzawajal says: A day when there will be no benefit in wealth or children, but only in he who comes to ALLAH Azzawajal with a pure heart. Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:88-89.  We learn from these verses that our success in the Hereafter depends upon the purification of our hearts in this life. We must purify our hearts from spiritual sins such as greed, malice, envy, arrog...
